On CAPS, 98% of the 1,272 members who have rated Thompson Creek believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier this month, one of those Fools, techpatriot, tapped the stock as a solid bargain opportunity: "Lots of value here still -- assets in the ground are not going away, but the stock is being discounted as if they do not exist. [Mt. Milligan mine] development, while admittedly severely over budget is still proceeding at a pace to bring the new mine online in late 2013 early 2014."
